Hi Keith, Hi list, I'm always lurkin' in the background - but - as I read the list at work and am always lots of postings back I never take part in the discussion. I'm in Bavaria so there is no way for me to see them in Berlin. BTW, I've seen Wire just once in my lifetime, supporting Roxy Music in Erlangen, can't remember which year that was. regards, Frank ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 12:48:53 +0100 From: "Clements, Bruno - BUP" Subject: [idealcopy] Supporting Roxy Music ...I've seen Wire just once in my lifetime, supporting Roxy Music in Erlangen, can't remember which year that was. Frank >>>They supposedly hated those gigs and were given a hard time by the Roxy Music people. It would be interested to know what the perception was of an audience member... especially as I doubt most RM fans even remember them playing. Brian Ferry's playing outdoors near me (at Westonbirt Arboretum) this summer. Lovely setting but he's not my cup of tea.

Oh Yes what a nice old man *he* was. ........., wasting public resources on having people cleaning up his filth. Trebus was amusing,..........but no more deserving of sympathy than the Friday night pissheads that beat A&E nurses up, and the scumbags that dial 999 so they can throw bricks at the Firefighters. OK:- I'll bite [sharp intake of breath] ....... I think that's a bit strong, isn't it? I don't think Mr T could be bracketed with the said "Friday night pissheads", the activities of which as described above certainly *are* beneath contempt. As for the health hazards he was said to pose, well insofar as it was outside in the garden, therefore 'at large' in the environment, then yeah, I suppose there *is/was* a case for the Environmental health office to get involved, as clearly it was going to be a rat magnet. HOWEVER, I don't reckon that entitles them to get through his front door and stick there five penn'orth in regarding the contents of *his* home. For sure, I wouldn't have wanted to live there, surrounded by festering mountains of HALF-EATEN trash, with the floor only intermittently visible, but then, that's his affair, isn't it? He wasn't abducting his neighbours, forcing them to sit in his home, to sample the unique olfactory experience, was he? No. Surely, unless the tottering trash-piles are impinging on the rest of the neighbourhood, then if Mr Trebus had wanted to sit on cushions stuffed with horse manure, in what was after all HIS HOUSE, then that's his affair?? I've had dealings myself with the EVO, and maybe the examples they sent me were atypical, but a sorrier bunch of clipboard-wielding, pernickity, voyeuristic, jobsworths I hadn't met 'til then. Still, hassling me about the smell of tom-cat piss is an easier life than going after the factories just up the road that nightly belch lord-knows-how-many tonnes of volatile crud up their smokestacks under cover of darkness. Also, was it me, or was there a sanctimonius timbre in the line about the waste of public resouces, too. If you want to talk about waste, then by all means do so: lets discuss all the 'sweeteners' paid to companies by way of bribes to set up in such-and-such-a-region, or compensation paid to various members of forces for alleged 'trauma' encountered during carrying out their job, or cost over-runs amounting to BILLIONS on every single military R & D contract ever placed, or all the golden handshakes/handcuffs paid to public servants, or 24-hour protection for former politicians for life, or subsidy cash lobbed at the likes of Windscale/Sellafield's nuclear dustbin, just so it can show an operating profit, or.......blah blah blah......(continues page 94) Well you get the idea:- Shall we have a bit of context? ;-) If we're talking financial waste, then let's introduce some perspective. Anything spent on sanitizing the likes of Mr T is *really* small potatoes compared to the waste that routinely occurs as a function of government every second of every day of every year, which generally slides by uncommented upon . Creatures of the right are very fond of railing against blowing public money, except of course unless it's being spent with a company they have shares in, or some other financial interest in, or it's being paid to someone in uniform, & then it's magically OK........... Anyhow, to return to the subject of the late Mr Trebus and his ilk:-unless theres *serious* crime going on inside someone's house, then the state's ambit runs out at the front door, I think.....I also vehemently disagree that he deserved no more sympathy than Friday piss-heads, and to bracket them together is just a shade 'daft', as they say in our parts............ dw Friends.
